Singing Tree Gardens: Dwarf Conifers, perfect little trees for rock gardens and bonsai too!

May 23, 2013

If there is one thing we really love about our dwarf conifers, it is that they always look perfect. These little trees really shine through all of the seasons, no matter what the weather. They add those bright foliage colors year round, or the form or texture your garden requires.

A dwarf form of Norway Spruce with needles that are very small and dark green in color. This cultivar only grows about 1-2 inches a year, and forms a tight round bun. It was found around 1965 by Grootendorst Nursery, Boskoop, Holland. Great for interest up close. Lovable!
